Audacity Forum

hey guys, So I am running audacity on vista and i have 2 pioneer cdj 200's hooked up to my stanton m.304 mixer.

When I try to record to my computer while im playing live It doesn't work. I have tried recording out of my booth out, record out and master out on my mixer and the right channel is always quiet. On my mixer i have the pan for channel 3 to the right and the pan for channel 1 to the left and I think this is the problem because I can record fine with both channel pans in the middle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

You have the Stereo output of the mixer connected to the Mono Microphone Input of the computer, right?

Most Windows laptops don't accept a Stereo audio connection. You might add one of the USB external sound cards to do this.

The mixer is going to the input on the soundcard and the out is too my speakers

What's plugged into channel 3 and channel 1?

my CDJ's

Why have you got them panned? You say it works OK when they are set to the middle.

It sounds much better when i have it panned because at home i only have one speaker. When the pans are set to middle it doesn't sound great at all

You are probably going to have to put up with sub-optimum live sound, or sub-optimum recording until you get your speakers fixed.
You may be able to improve the balance in the recorded track by using the Normalize effect. See here for details: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.ph ... =Normalize

Thanks for the susggestion.

My speaker is fine, its just that i only have 1. will the problem disappear once i get another one?
